  • Yes, there are plenty of lockers at the festival site.

  • During the festival, you can pay with tokens. These can be purchased from the special token desks.

  • To reduce waste we will be working with a recycle token system. This means you will receive one free recycle token upon entrance. When you get your first drink you hand in your recycle token. From then on, you hand in your empty cup whenever you get a new drink. When you do not hand in an empty cup you will have to pay 1 token extra, so be smart and hand in those empty cups!

  • You are allowed to bring your (digital) camera with you. Make sure you take a lot of photos and share them with us on Instagram and Facebook via #DanceValley. Professional photography and video equipment is not permitted on the site.

  • In case of a special diet or an allergy it’s possible to bring own food/drinks, but that requires a doctor's permit. Otherwise, it's not allowed to bring your own food/drinks to Dance Valley. We offer a wide range of food and drinks at the festival.

  • At Dance Valley, we have a ZERO TOLERANCE drugs policy. Both hard and soft drugs are banned from the festival site.

  • It is possible to enter the grounds if you are disabled. We would like to mention that the hilly terrain, where the festival will take place, is not entirely wheelchair friendly. As a result, some areas of the festival may not be accessible to you. Disabled toilets are available at the festival site.

    Unfortunately, due to our mobility plan, in the context of overall traffic and audience safety, it is not possible to facilitate micro-level transportation. Unfortunately you cannot be dropped off in front of the festival. So ordered transportation for the return trip is unfortunately also not possible. However, you can be dropped off and picked up at the kiss & ride zone. Of course you can buy your own parking ticket to park close to the festival.

Travel

  • Yes, no problem. From Amsterdam Sloterdijk railway station, you can take the shuttle bus to the festival. You can also travel from your hometown in the Netherlands through our trusted bus partner or organise your own bus trip. More info here.
